The Highrisers and Timbers go to 7 games but New York has their second straight title. It was actually the first 7 game series in WBL history. The Cleveland Timbers are now 0-4 in World Series play, having lost in 1901 to Buffalo, 1903 to Brooklyn, 1904 to Boston and 1915 to NY.
Sherry Magee was named World Series MVP. Magee was a 3 time champion in his days in the outfield in St. Louis and now has a title with New York as a shortstop.
Wow, leatherbelts in the clubhouse: "But as he reached stardom, Sherry also developed a reputation as a troublemaker. “On the ball field Magee is so fussy most of the time that people who do not know him naturally form the opinion from his actions that he is a born grouch,” wrote the Philadelphia Times after the 1908 season. “That he is one of the most hot-headed players in either big league is admitted; it couldn’t be denied, because the records, showing how often he has been suspended for scrapping with the umpires, speak for themselves.” Off the field, the young slugger could be just as difficult. The captain of the Phillies during Magee’s early years was Kid Gleason, who kept an old leather belt in his locker that he used on young players who misbehaved, and on several occasions Magee literally felt the captain’s wrath. Sherry also became known for “crabbing” at teammates. “Magee, like Evers, has an unusual amount of base ball gray matter and spirit,” explained one reporter. “This spirit plays for victories and is easily upset when ‘bones’ are pulled.”
